The Fall String concert is usually around 2 hours long, with an intermission and breaks in between switches of instructors, instruments, and set-ups. At the start of the night, the Middle schools perform their own songs with their own musical instructors. After all three middle schools perform, Orchestra one takes the stage, Orchestra two, then three.
Orchestra 1, composed of mostly freshman and instrumental beginners, is pretty confident in their performance, Megan Choi, a violin says. “We put in a moderate amount of time into the work. We practicing everyday in class, and pay more attention towards details. But overall, there’s no drastic rush is being set in preparation. Megan believes the Fall String concert will go smoothly, “We’re well prepared and the three songs that we’re playing really compliment one another.
Excited for the upcoming concert, one orchestra two student is also beaming with confidence about their performance. Orchestra 2 is to play Simple Gifts, and Rhos Meydre, and just like Orchestra 1, Orchestra 2 “practices everyday during school and during the time we have in the privacy of our own homes.”
Julie Chung, one of the select 100 students in the Orchestra 3 class feels “confident in this year’s performance. We prepare for the concert everyday, and during the summer we prepared a few songs as well.” Orchestra 3 will be performing three songs at the concert; Fantasie, which was composed by Mr. England, the orchestra director, himself, Symphonie Number 44, Trauer, composed by Hayden, and Sinfoniettta in D major composed by Mozart, and arranged by James Brown.
Julie is only one of the many brilliant orchestral members whom can’t contain their excitement and glee over the upcoming performance. “It’s really exhilarating to be on stage,” Julie explains, “It’s a bit nerve-wracking at first, when you continually tell yourself ‘Don’t rush! Don’t rush!’ …..but it feels really good afterward when we blow the audience’s mind.”
